Okay, mostly this is why you should be fancying Porthos (aka Howard Charles), but also it is why you should be watching the BBC Musketeers.

Yesterday, for totally logical reasons that are totally mostly not 'because Bethan is a vain cow', I took a photo of what I wore to work. And then, because the contrast between that and what I changed into after work amused me, I took a photo of that, too.
Like so.

Monday. Woe.
And, well, I've acquired a lot of work outfits lately but tend to keep wearing the same ones, so it occurred to me that repeating the process for a week or so would hopefully convince me to wear some different clothes for a change!
And also, I am indeed a vain cow.
So...

Tuesday!
(T-shirt is this Milliways shirt from Othertees; dress was, unbelievably, fifteen euros in an appallingly posh Parisian dress shop two streets from my uni. I'm still a little convinced it was labelled in error. Note the Gwen Cooper boots, because I'm very proud. The other boots are Doc Martens, for which I blame
apiphile entirely.)

Notes: Thanks to
camwyn for all her help. <3 The title comes from the Oscar Wilde quote ‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.’
Summary: Phil Coulson doesn’t wake up in the same universe he died in. But he does at least find himself face-to-face with someone who’s had a similar experience... And she usually goes by ‘Batgirl’.
( When he wakes up, Phil is a little surprised that nothing hurts, and a lot MORE surprised to be waking up at all.Collapse )

"You know," Natasha says thoughtfully, and sips her sixth tequila, "I might just screw all three of them and tell them they will be judged on performance. Then tell them afterwards it's best out of three."
Pepper passes her a new cocktail, because the wait between drinks currently feels like the saddest moments of her life all rolled into one. "If you do, no woman in the world would blame you. Not even the gay ones."
Natasha changes channels on their main CCTV feed (because Steve currently has his ass to the camera and it would be a crime - and not the fun kind - to miss that kind of entertainment), before accepting the drink. "Tell me about it."
I BLAME THIS:

( Annabelle Fritton, when she finally got there, turned out to be a far cry from the big butch woman Molly had been expecting: she was tall and slim as a model, with more lipstick than Molly had ever worn in her life and a tumble of brown curls worn unscientifically loose.Collapse )
